Why are AM/FM Tuners So Expensive?


I'm referring to NAD, Rotel, etc...

Are they really that much better than what comes in a mass-market receiver?

Thanks!

I don't know why NAD, Rotel or other tuners are more expensive than, say, a Denon TU-260 II, since most tuners use the same front-end electronics.... You're probably paying for the name. To me, being an ex-radio-technician, there is absolutely no point in paying a lot of money for a tuner. Most radio-broadcasts are so heavily processed you're mother wouldn't recognize you if you we're being interviewed....
